Something To Be "Bitter" About For Real

For anyone still wondering about how legitimate a candidate for president Barack Obama still is after the media circus over you-know-what, I should link to the following interview he gave Will Bunch here noting that he “is at the least open to the possibility of investigating potential high crimes in the Bush White House,” particularly in light of Bushco’s recent admission here that “yeah, we tortured people…what are you gonna do about it?”

And while it is discouraging to see Obama rule out impeachment (it could still be made to happen, honestly), it is at least encouraging to see a possibility that this country will one day be once more a place where the rule of law is paramount over politics.

Obama notes the role that his attorney general would play in reviewing the prior wretched legal episodes of this cabal; I’ve been pondering this for a little while now, but I think the person best suited for the role of AG under Obama (someone to clean up the DOJ mess for good, and it would be a HUGE job) is the guy pictured right here.
